The definition of a script is something the computer executes (if it’s a computer script, of course). Everything else people shove into it is extraneous.

My personal hypothesis is that everybody was half-asleep through about a third of the episodes of TNG.

It certainly reaches some high peaks, but the series average isn’t as entertaining as everybody remembers it.

You don’t excuse or fix LaTeX formatting.

Whatever way LaTeX decides to format your document is The Right Way™, and the person complaining about it is wrong.

Hum… My guess is if we could make houses out of money, they would be much cheaper.

I’m so terrified about it that I check dozens of times before running it. So, no.

But I’m a repeat offender with rm -rf * .o

You! You took the egg out of the best Power Point presentation on the history of TV!

Shortly thereafter he dies by crossing a bridge just a few meters away from the bridge’s location.

Just pointing, but people had been speculating about tectonic plates for a really long time. A century before geologists finally allowed one of them to point it and accepted looking into it, fringe scientists already had an overwhelming amount of evidence.

Just to point out, but the last time we had a scandal about a plane that kills people, it’s safety record was about the same as riding a motorcycle in city transit (AKA, one of the most dangerous things people actually do).

Just because the average is very low, it doesn’t mean whatever problem people are pointing isn’t an issue.

While I don’t necessarily understand the finer points of the meme

None of those things are named after the properties the meme points out.

that demonstrated the IP still has life

By making a completely out of the norm series, focused on a side character from an non-main movie, and not using anything that identifies the universe.

It demonstrated that even Disney can make something good once in a while, but it didn’t do anything to the Star Wars IP.

It has absolutely surpassed us in how confidently it makes its mistakes.

What, I have to say, was never a low bar. It’s impressive.

JS needs to know about styles?

It’s about JS trying to detect if the link was visited, not about style. People used to do that to evade cross-site tracking protection, and this is why JS isn’t allowed to know that anymore.

As a previous NVidia customer, I refused to be thrown under a truck! I demand a proper bus!

The one option that is mandated by an ISO standard.

Besides, if max and min are going to have a value without any parameter, it has to be exactly those Javascript uses. Unless you have a type that define other bounds for your numbers. And null always have a pointer type (that is object in Javascript), for the same reason that NaN always have a number type.

The only one that is bad on that list is D.

Well, there’s no “insulator”. There are only semiconductors.

That snippet can’t represent the real world:

but the player we did kill was so pissed

I actually only found that one. But well, it’s unambiguous :)

EDIT: Hum… “Pissed” has another meaning that would be possible IRL. So I’m retreating my certainty here.

Those arms have a complex non-planar geometry, but I guarantee they are realizable even in an Euclidean space. Try it again.

Apart from dynamically typed languages which need to store the type with the value

You know that depending on what your code does, the same C that people are talking upthread doesn’t even need to allocate memory to store a variable, right?

I have never met that kind of person that won’t accept a short answer that actually answers a question.

What I have seen plenty of is people that are completely sure nobody else will accept short answers. They specifically will always accept it, of course, but nobody else.
